The tower was isolated in the snowstorm and was located at the center of the villa. It was the core of the entire formation and also a place for cultivation. Below it was a secret chamber deep inside the mountain, which also served as a treasure vault.
Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying came to the platform at the top of the tower. The snowstorm here was particularly fierce, and the villa below them could be vaguely seen. Any further and it would be white again.
Gu Yanying tugged at her cloak. "No wonder the White Ape King is so difficult to communicate with. That arrogance of his was probably cultivated here."
You will reach the top and look down on all the other mountains.
Occasionally, he would feel this way when he climbed the mountain, but if he were to stay at such a high place all day long, coupled with his unparalleled martial arts, his temperament would inevitably be affected.
"It's not a bad thing for sword cultivators to be a little arrogant, but unfortunately, there's always someone better out there. The wind and snow here are too strong. Let's go down. Don't catch a cold. "
From the high platform, Li Qingshan let Gu Yanying rest in the study on the second floor of the tower, while he went down alone to the deep secret chamber. It was pitch-black and cold inside. Not only was there no light, but there were no heating facilities either. The White Ape King's physique was so strong that it was almost impervious to the cold and heat, so it didn't need to rely on light either. Instead, as long as there was a little light, all sorts of rare treasures in the grooves in the walls would immediately shine brilliantly.
Li Qingshan didn't look at the treasures around him. He only stared at the ground beneath his feet. The mountain rock was polished to the point where one could see one's reflection, revealing fine and compact textures. There wasn't much worth paying attention to, but in his eyes, it was more attractive than any other treasure. He looked at it very seriously, even kneeling down and gently stroking it, feeling the hardness of the rock. His eyes seemed to be gazing into the distance. It passed through the mountains and reached the depths of the earth.
In fact, he was different from Gu Yanying. Compared to the vast and high sky, he preferred the solid and heavy earth that could bear the weight of all things. He would never be high above others. Even if there were high mountains and steep cliffs, they were just small undulations compared to the whole earth. Even mortals could reach the top with a little effort, and they could even proudly think that they had conquered the mountains.
"Could it be that this world can really seal all of my power?"
Li Qingshan didn't believe it and wasn't willing to just rely on the Divine Talisman of Great Creation. He took a deep breath. He silently sensed the deep earth beneath his feet. Time ticked by.
The mountain rocks in the cold winter were as cold as iron. The chill seeped through the soles of his feet, and the cold blood flowed through his entire body. His body slowly stiffened. He didn't need the Divine Talisman of Great Creation for warmth. Instead, he flung his cloak to the side.
His body temperature continued to drop. Gradually reaching the edge of death, the mysterious will of the heavens imprisoned everything, like a strict and cold father. He still endured and didn't move, an unfilial son that would never yield.
Gradually, the cold ground began to warm up, and the sturdy rocks began to soften.
As if he had used a needle to pierce through some sort of barrier, a sliver of power flowed into his body from the ground beneath his feet. Although it was extremely minuscule, it was endless. It was somewhat similar to the innate divine ability "Earth Divine Power", but it was definitely not just a divine ability.
"Ox Demon Sinks in the Mud!"
Different from all the other Fiendgod Transformations, the Ox Demon Transformation was where his foundation lay. From roaming the pugilistic world to dominating the world, it had always been his most powerful transformation. Now that he had cast aside all external factors, he had instead revealed some of his most intrinsic qualities.
The familiar and intimate power poured into his body, purging all of the coldness as if it could not bear to see him fall into death. Although he was an unfilial son of the heavens, he was the beloved son of the earth.
Li Qingshan was excited. He leaned over and kissed the ground deeply before standing up and throwing a punch!
Bang! The heavy sound of air shattering echoed through the secret room.
He took a step back, twisted his waist, and punched out with both fists. The Ox Demon Holds the Heavens.
It was like he had returned to many years ago, when he was a young man focused on cultivation beneath Crouching Ox hill. However, he was no longer a young man at the end of the day. Every single move was heavy and slow, imbued with the essence, qi, and soul he had condensed throughout his life.
But before long, a growl rang out in the darkness. Li Qingshan was taken aback, only discovering that it was his stomach growling. He rubbed his stomach and could not help but laugh. I still have to continue drinking and eating meat!
Gu Yanying slept very soundly this time. She dreamed that she was roaming through the void. It was boundless, dark, and empty, but this time, she was no longer riding on the wings. Instead, she had turned into a kunpeng.
When she woke up, she was still in a slight daze. She laid on the soft bed and raised the azure feather high into the air with her right hand, letting it roam about in her hand. She produced whistling sounds from her mouth, as if the wings were stirring up a fierce gale and passing through the void.
"What are you doing?" Li Qingshan was amused. He was basically like a child who was daydreaming.
Gu Yanying blushed for once. She stowed the kunpeng feather away and sat up. "What did you do today?"
"I can't tell from here. You'll know in a moment," said Li Qingshan. His connection with the earth was still extremely weak. He could not sense it from the top of the tower. "Let's go and find something to eat!"
Gu Yanying also found that she was very hungry. She glanced at the hourglass and said, "It's time to publish the second page. Otherwise, those guys will be waiting anxiously."
Making his way out of the tower, Gu Yanying immediately noticed Li Qingshan's changes. Every single step he took was rooted to the ground, steady and firm. He possessed a familiar sense of power. "Your strength has recovered?"
"A little bit. At least I'm not that weak anymore." Li Qingshan clenched his fist. "You seem to have changed a little too."
"Really? I'm not as hardworking as you. I was just sleeping. "
"Then you should sleep more in the future."
The two of them walked to the hall of the outer court. All the swordsmen were already waiting there. The noise suddenly quieted down. They looked at them with nervous and expectant eyes. Almost all of them did not sleep the whole night. They kept studying that page of the sword manual. They only felt that it was extremely exquisite and indescribable. Other than Hou Hongtao and a few other innate masters, most of the others did not even understand this page.
Hou Hongtao also keenly noticed the changes in them. Especially Li Qingshan's change was the most obvious. His calm and majestic posture gave him a feeling that he could not be shaken. If they wanted to deal with them, they had already missed the best opportunity. And that page of the sword manual made everyone have no time or energy to think about other things.
Li Qingshan sat on a throne made of long swords. A woman came out from the crowd and shouted, "Welcome, Villa Master!"
The swordsmen followed suit and said, "Welcome, Villa Master!"
Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment before he recognized the woman. She was the naked woman kneeling in the snow this morning. She had changed into a tight outfit and had a long sword on her back. Her appearance was completely different. He almost couldn't recognize her with her clothes on.
Seeing her pale face, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Villa Master. I'm already much better. It's just that my three sisters' inner strength is not enough. The cold poison has invaded their bodies and they can't stop coughing. I, Fei Hong, thank you for saving their lives!"
"That's easy. Hou Hongtao, don't you cultivate Raging Fire Qi? Let's treat them! "Li Qingshan instructed casually.
"I don't cultivate martial arts for this kind of thing," Hou Hongtao said proudly. Even the White Ape King wouldn't dare order him around like a servant.
